DIY Valentine’s Day Pillow

I admit I’m jumping ahead a little with Valentine’s Day about a month away, but I always take my Christmas Decorations down on January 1st and my home seems so naked without all the fluff and circumstance.

It’s been a tradition to get rid of Christmas on January 1st since my oldest son Luke has a birthday on January 4th, and shortly after my youngest son Troy has a birthday on February 4th.

I don’t like mixing Christmas and Birthday’s. Of course, I would not want to miss out on any celebration, decoration or holiday planning opportunities. LOL

So, the XOXO pillow popped into my head and I had everything I needed and it was Super Easy and came out Super Cute. No need for a video on this one, but you can check out my son’s birthday video here. Troy and I left Reno early this week to be home on the 4th for Luke’s birthday.

Here’s what you need to make the DIY XOXO Pillow. I’ve included all the links below:

1. A Maker’s Studio Mesh Stencil XOXO 9×12
2. A Maker’s Studio Gel Art Ink in White, which comes in 13 other colors.
3. Ikea Pillow Cover Cushion Sleeve 20” X 20″ Cotton Black Gurli, which also comes in white or red and possibly others. I purchased mine on Amazon.
4. Ikea Inner Insert Cushion Throw Pillow, 20 X 20-Inch, I purchased mine on Amazon.
5. A Maker’s Studio Scraper or your finger works too.

p.s. if you purchase any of the above products I may be compensated as well.

I love how this pillow turned out and although it’s perfect for the upcoming Valentine’s Day it really can be used all year long anywhere in your home.
